While it was good to see so many people who were being active during their time outside, Peter didn't feel too compelled to join in. He got more than enough of a work-out after dark, so he was more partial to just finding a place to sit and enjoy the fresh air. The air was amazingly clear here, which he wasn't used to considering his hometown. In some of his family's vacation spots it had been like this, but that was so long ago now.

Speaking of family, it was mainly due to his parents that he had never been part of a team sport as a kid. He had wanted to try it, but his father in particular had always insisted that he focus on his studies. It had gotten him into a good school in the end, but not the right school in his father's eyes.

Either way, he felt like he'd missed out in some ways. As he watched the younger patients run laps or play games together, he came across another patient who looked like he'd seen a ghost.

It occurred to Peter that maybe he had.

He paused and cleared his throat. "Hey, you all right?"
